Afternoon cambridgecockne, I do with mine, only because I have a cycle-rack mount as well, and it brings it out from spare wheel. regards David.

Neil,

I've towed my 'van with an Alko 2000 coupling with a couple of Discos & as long as there's an Alko towball on, the spare wheel is well out of the way.
